Absorption
i.
Adaptive duration
The adaptive duration setting allows selection between adaptive absorption time (calculated based on the bulk time / level
of discharge) or a fixed absorption time.
ii.
Maximum absorption time / Absorption time
The maximum absorption time / absorption time setting enables the maximum adaptive absorption time or the fixed
absorption time to be configured (depending if adaptive or fixed absorption time is selected). Note that regardless if
adaptive or fixed absorption time is selected, the absorption phase can end early based on the tail current setting (if
enabled).
iii.
Tail current
The tail current setting enables the absorption stage to be ended early based on charge current. If the charge current
drops below the tail current threshold for one minute, the absorption stage will immediately end and the charger will move
to float or storage stage.
iv.
Repeated absorption
The repeated absorption time setting enables the elapsed time between each automatic refresh charge cycle (1h in
absorption stage) to be configured.
d.
Recondition
i.
Recondition current percentage
The recondition current percentage is used to establish the charge current limit while the charger is in recondition stage;
the percentage is relative to the configured 'Maximum charge current'. The charger will limit charge current to this lower
level while in recondition stage.
ii.
Recondition stop mode
The recondition stop mode setting allows selection between the recondition stage being ended upon the battery voltage
reaching the recondition stage voltage setpoint or a fixed time period.
iii.
Maximum recondition duration
The recondition time setting enables the maximum recondition time or the fixed recondition time to be configured
(depending on the recondition stop mode selected).
